Paperback. Condition: New. A speculative spatial theory for mapping the colonial afterlives of extraction. Planetary Portals investigates the colonial afterlives of extraction, travelling from the Rhodes estate in East London to the Kimberley diamond fields of southern Africa. Guided by an ethics of environmental restitution and repair, the book examines colonialism as an ongoing planetary condition that radically transforms material states of being. The idea of the "portal" is deployed as a speculative, archival and creative method for mapping spatial and temporal patterns of colonial environments, while troubling these sightlines to glimpse at alternative planetary futures. Through "speculative nonfictions" Planetary Portals presents a new theory for apprehending the environmental harms of the colonial present while tacitly reimagining the structures of environmental life within the long shadows of continuous extraction.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A speculative theory for mapping the colonial afterlives of extractive industries across southern Africa.A speculative theory for mapping the colonial afterlives of extractive industries across southern Africa.Planetary Portals focuses on the colonial afterlives of extraction in southern Africa and its colonisation of the future. Through a critical engagement with imperial archives-specifically the archival records of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes during the Kimberley diamond rush (1871), South African gold rushes (1873-1886), and the "African expansion" of imperialism-the book maps new cartographies of passage into alternate futures. Guided by an ethics of repair and restitution of silenced histories, Planetary Portals investigates how dreams of Empire are sustained through geographic imaginaries of Africa-as-mine, Africa-as-continent, Africa-as-resource exemplified in today's market of rare earth elements (REEs) and their transformation into data infrastructures of techno-utopian futures. Understanding colonialism as an ongoing planetary condition that produces unequal material states requires a counter poetic that inspires new spatial imaginaries. Planetary Portals develops the "portal" as a speculative, archival and creative method for mapping spatial and temporal patterns of coloniality and transforming these into alternative planetary futures in what we call "speculative nonfiction." From imperial state-making to diamond mining and from settler colonial farms to labour compounds, the erased histories and silenced voices of the archive call for geographical imaginaries that refrain from reproducing the violences and horrors of colonialism, and instead foreground the tacit resistances to the maintenance of politico-administrative infrastructures. Planetary Portals develops a new theory and method for apprehending the environmental harms and lived traumas of the colonial present, while also reimagining how we might inhabit the long shadow of continuous colonial extraction and exploitation otherwise. Planetary Portals is a speculative spatial theory for mapping the colonial afterlives of extraction.
